POST: Adding Podcasts to a WordPress Site

You can add your podcast content to a WordPress site via the use of an RSS feed. To get started, follow the steps below to set up and properly format your RSS feed in POST.

Create Your RSS Feed

Navigate to Settings > Integrations and then select Connect new feed in the RSS section.

To create a new RSS feed, follow the simple three-step process to input the necessary information.

Step 1: Add Basic Info

Enter all the required fields to provide the unique identifying information for your show.  

Step 2: Display Details

Upload a properly-sized square show image that will display in POST and on podcast hosting sites.  (Minimum 1400x1400px and maximum 3000x3000px.)

NOTE:  It is important to select at least one appropriate RSS category in order for your podcast to be listed correctly with podcast hosting sites.  Subcategories, if applicable, will help put your podcast in front of the right audience.

Step 3: Adjust Settings

Adjust any optional settings that apply and click Save publishing destination to complete the setup.

  • iHeart stations will need to enter their iHeart show ID in order to properly gather analytics for the show.
  • The RSS feed must be set to Active status if you want to publish episodes to it.
  • Choose the Publish to this destination by default checkbox if you would like this RSS feed to be available for publishing from all your Shows in POST.

After creating your new RSS, you will find it listed in the RSS section of Integrations.  Click the link icon and Copy to clipboard.  Save this URL but change "rss" to "wordpress".  For example, the URL below would change to: https://post.futurimedia.com/petefm/playlist/wordpress/17.xml.  This is the RSS feed that you will add to your website.

NOTE: Before submitting your RSS feed to any podcast hosting site, you will need to make sure at least one episode has been published to the feed. 


Add to Your WordPress Site

You can now use the RSS feed you customized to add content to your WordPress site.  For help setting up an RSS widget on your site, please refer to WordPress Support.
